Brian -
Thanks for chiming in here. And thanks for your efforts. (I was able
to meet Seemant in India two weeks ago, and he couldn't say enough
good about you).

As far as I understand EAPI is used to define a sort of super class
(in OO terms) for an ebuild. (Feel free to correct).
I'm using Kito's prefixed ebuilds, which have the line
EAPI="prefix"
in them.
I'm not specifying the overlay right now, but I'm sure there are other
environment errors. I'm assumming if I deal with them, this issue
will go away.
